Way back in August
That's when you started this 8th grade math stuff.
Ms. Woods with her giant afro

Thinks she's so great, but can she teach us?
Learned about Pythagorean
Theorem. That's for right triangles.

Inverse operations help you solve equations.
Now what's the problem?
Use those integer rules

PEMDAS. Answer the question asked, too.
Scale factor, new over old. Similar figures.
Be sure you're careful.

Problem solving steps can help to focus your thinking.
Take a breath, then another breath and recall these words from me.


Chorus:

Why you always trippin', thinkin' that you're just slow

When Ms. Woods taught you all you need to know?
You've got a big brain full of knowledge so apply it.
Big brain full of knowledge so apply it


Now open your mind up and listen up, students.
I am your conscience. You know how to work out

the math problems that you see, students.
I know you're nervous right now and I'm hoping to
lead you to victory, students.

If I do another question
Imma throw my hands up and walk out of this classroom.
I hope that I'm getting' em right,

Using my brain to decide. Smarticals streaming,
I'm getting the feeling I'm passing the STAAR test.
Why am I surprised?

Confidence deep down inside
There's no more fear in my eyes
To Dobie you see. Lion to a Longhorn, so proud of myself.

Thinking back on those words that Ms. Woods had said to me.

Chorus:


Why you always trippin', thinkin' that you're just slow
When Ms. Woods taught you all you need to know?

You've got a big brain full of knowledge so apply it.
Big brain full of knowledge so apply it


Used my big brain, hey.
Math STAAR test is over with, yay!
Straight to 9th grade, yay.

Ms. Woods will be so proud, hey!
